2nd Annual
This page was remade for the 3rd annual Masquerade. Please click HERE to be sent to the new page.
The Azure Flame's third annual Spring Masquerade Ball is set to take place on TO BE DETERMINED. The event will feature a variety of activities for guests to partake in, as well as a few competitions for prizes! More information on the other activities can be found below.
The main event, however, is the masquerade ball. The stage section of the estate will be open for people to dance, with seating for those who wish to watch. The bar and kitchen will both be open as well for those who want a snack or a drink!
Throughout the evening, various sections of the estate and private chambers will be used for games and activities. This will all be announced in /yell to ensure nobody misses out!
Located on Mateus, Goblet, Ward 5, Plot 13.
The main activity of the night is the ball! However, there are several smaller activities that take place throughout the night. Below you will find them listed.
- The Masquerade Auction
Similar to a date auction...and practically the same thing. For those who need a partner to dance with for the evening, here is their chance! Alternatively, they can also use the auction to acquire a date for a future evening. More information and rules for this will be listed further down.
- Bardly Bard Off
A competition between bards competing for a grand prize! Additional information for this will be listed further down.
- Costume Contest
Those with the most exotic, fancy, and pretty costumes can compete for prizes! There will be a lot of categories to win, so everyone can have a chance at a prize! The one who manages to win the most categories wins the grand prize. As before, additional information for this activity will be listed further down.
- Trivia Trials
A game where people will compete for points! Answering a question correct will result in a point. The top three finishers will win prizes! More information will be listed below.
Despite the Masquerade Auction being an IC event, the rules listed below also apply OOCly.
Rules:
1. To take part in the auction, you must be 18+. Even if you do not intend to flirt. Your character must also be 18+
2. You must fulfill the conditions of the auction, within reason. If you were bought so someone could have a dance partner, please do so. Likewise if both parties agree on a date.
3. Expanding upon rule two, you can not attempt to force anything that will make the other uncomfortable. The most obvious example is erp. If you come to the event expecting ERP, you should leave and look elsewhere.
4. When bidding, please know that the auction will be using real gil.
If you have any questions or wish to report an individual for rule 3 or 2, please contact Foxa Sulti or an event staff member.
Percentage:
60% Of the gil will go to the person being auctioned. 40% will go toward future events hosted by the Azure Flames. Full refunds will be given out if any issues arise with the individuals involved in the date.

How It Will Work:

The Trivia Trials game is a quick activity where trivia questions are asked and answered! Answering a question correctly will result in a point. The game will last roughly 25 minutes.
Here are the prizes:
Trial Champion:
300,000 Gil
Trial Runner Up:
100,000 Gil
The questions will revolve around the lore of FFXIV and the game mechanics. Due to the style of questions, it will be difficult to play this off as an IC activity. Even when it comes to the lore, there are several questions that characters would simply lack knowledge of ICly. You can treat this as an OOC portion of the event or play it off as IC.
Game Location:
Private Chambers, Room 10, Game Room. This activity will be announced before it begins, to allow everyone a chance to take part.
